Today I am happy to participate in the blog tour for author Amanda Tero’s new story, Wedding Score! I enjoyed this story, and actually even bought a paper copy of it (which is rare for me 😛 )! So read on for my review, information about the book, a giveaway, and more!
Title: Wedding Score
Author: Amanda Tero
Genre(s): Contemporary Christian Fiction
Rating: ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ (four stars)
Romance Content: Okay, so it’s about being content in singleness, so there’s a lot about getting married, etc. But the only thing that I didn’t really agree with as far as the romance goes was that a character held his girlfriend’s hand.
Recommended age range: 19+, because it’s primarily written for single young women (especially for those who are “ready” to get married)– not necessarily recommended for younger than that
My Review:
FTC Disclosure: I was given an e-copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review.
This was an excellent book! I was very interested when I heard about it, because the main character is a pianist (actually a piano teacher) and I love music, and also because the singleness issue is one that I haven’t seen addressed very much (at least not in fiction). I was not disappointed! I liked the little musical touches, and the message was excellent. Like I said above, I’m not currently in a position where I’m ready to be married, but I still found this book to be encouraging. The main character’s journaling (which actually came from the author’s journal!) was especially sweet to me. I appreciated how she looked to the Lord and to His Word and trusted Him.
While I can’t necessarily agree with all the aspects of the book, there was nothing inappropriate and I would recommend this book to any single Christian young lady, ages 19+!
Most girls dream of their wedding days. Except me. I’m too busy practicing piano and being the live soundtrack for everyone else’s weddings to think about my own.
I’ve survived most of my twenties with harmonious chords and pleasant days. So why is it that now, at twenty-seven, a discordant feeling presents itself?
Is there a solid solution to loneliness when there is absolutely no potential husband on the horizon?
A CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN SHORT READ
I absolutely *loved* this book! It dealt with singleness in a wonderful, biblical way that was refreshing. You’re right — there’s not too may fictional books on singleness that keep the focus on Scripture! I enjoyed all the journal entries, as well — they were encouraging to my heart ❤
I’m glad that you were able to read and enjoy it, too! 🙂
Thank you for your sweet review and for being a part of my blog tour! ❤ I appreciate you!
You’re welcome! Thank you for the opportunity and for your kind comment. 🙂
I didn’t MEAN to read half this book today, but I opened it to see how long it was and not long later… XD Enjoying it so far! 😀
Haha, that’s great!! Glad you’re enjoying it. 🙂
